OH SB110

Revises Ohio's household sewage and small flow on-site sewage treatment systems law by adding definitions (bedrock, soil, water table, limiting condition, vertical separation distance, gray water recycling systems, infiltrative surface) and establishing a framework for system approval, installation, operation, and alteration based on site conditions and risk assessment

Establishes vertical separation distance standards for soil absorption systems with maximum 18 inches for low/moderate risk soils and 24-36 inches for high-risk soils, with provisions for reductions through subsurface drains, pretreatment, or soil elevation as approved by boards of health

Creates sewage treatment system appeals boards in each county with three members (appointed by health commissioner, probate judge, and director of health) to hear property owner appeals of board of health decisions regarding permit denials, system replacement requirements, and other final orders

Requires boards of health to develop maintenance programs allowing property owners to demonstrate system maintenance instead of inspections, while authorizing board inspections based on complaints, probable cause, or lack of maintenance proof

Extends the deadline for the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact Advisory Board to submit recommendations to the Governor and General Assembly to December 15, 2010 (from eighteen months after effective date)
